Does anyone know when our non-conf. opponents will be be announced and who exactly (i think Western is one) they will be? Any inside info?

If we go 1-AA why not Western Illinois University. I will assure a win against them, they are losing all of their decent players, so we would have no concerns against them. They took Arkansas to the final second this year and gave LSU a game for 3 quarters a few years ago, so they tend to be half way decent. The only reason I suggest them is I graduated from there

Here's a bold prediction: Michigan wins all 4 non-conference games next year. All will be at home, the toughest opponent being ND. Not exactly mission impossible. 4 non-conference wins, 4-5 Big Ten wins-- lets face it, the Big Ten sucks. And we won 2 conference games this year, probably should have beaten Purdue and Northwestern. We'll get those games next year. So to summarize, cream puff schedule will translate to 8 or 9 wins, Alamo Bowl trip, and excitement for the Rodriguez Era to really take off in 2010.

Indiana is the Big Ten opener, played in the Big House. So no road games, no ranked opponents in September. I wouldn't be surprised to see U-M 4-0 going to East Lansing Oct. 3
